- Wow. That's a great logo. But, in the city of Komotini, a former
- Greek Parliamentarian of Turkish parentage, was sentenced recently
- to 18 months of imprisonment with no right to appeal, just for saying
- outloud that he was of Turkish descent. This duly-elected ethnic
- Turkish official was also deprived of his political rights for a
- period of three years. Each one of these barbaric and terrorist acts
- seems to be none other than a vehicle, used by the Greek governments,
- to cover-up their inferiority complex they display, vis-a-vis, the
- people of Turkiye. Nobody has the right to ask the people of Turkiye to
- go through another decade of nightmare just so that the Greek governments
- could give another chance to the Greek Army to slaughter more innocent
- Turks. Greeks had their chance between 1960 and 1974. But they proved
- beyond any doubt that Turkish lives and rights mean nothing next to the
- intoxication of their Pan-Hellenistic utopias.
-
- The Turkish action is in conformity with Turkish history, law and
- tradition, let alone with the international law. In 1974 the Junta
- of Greek Colonels sent in a terrorist by the name of Sampson, who
- toppled Makarios' government and began preparations to have Cyprus
- annexed to 'democratic' Greece. At the same time the Greek-Cypriots
- began wholesale massacres of Turkish villagers to simply eliminate
- the Turkish Cypriots. It was this event that forced the Turkish
- Army to land in Cyprus on July 20, 1974 and to secure the Northern
- part of the island. All Turks were moved to the North and eventually
- that led to the formation of the Turkish Republic of Northern
- Cyprus, where Turks can now live unmolested and free. The 'democratic'
- government of Greece did not go to war, but its large force on the
- Island was badly defeated. The Greeks could not swallow this defeat.
- There is a Turkish saying that one cannot cover up the sun with
- mud.
-
- It is also somewhat ironic to hear the name of Greek governments
- mentioned in international terrorist meetings. In July 1982, a
- mere day after his interview over the telephone with the prominent
- French Journalist, Charles Villenevue (the same person who later
- interviewed terrorist Melkonian), Hagopian was falsely reported by
- ASALA as having been killed in Beirut by an Israeli air raid. Instead,
- he apparently shifted his activities to Greece and Syria, and began a
- working relationship with the anti-PLO Palestinian radical Abu-Nidal.

- We closed the roads and mountain passes that might

- then proceeded in the work of extermination.'
